The "I would have been your daddy" refers to a comment made the searge if youve got him on the tank in that level. sometimes when he kills a grunt, hell say "I would have been your daddy, but the dog beat me over the fence"

: Sorry I can find the exact quotes but anmyway..

: Cortana tells FoeHammer that the engines have suffered more damage than they
: expected and this may be a reference to something from "The Fall of
: Reach", having just finished that for the second time I recalled that
: the PoAs engines were heavily damaged during the battle of Reach and they
: had to be repaired on route to Halo so maybe they hadn't be they well
: repaired.

: As for whether she would lie, Cortana's Alpha Pirority command is to complete
: the mission with all other objectives as Beta Pirority. Ugnoring the fact
: that the mission she was designed for (Capture of a Covenant ship) is a
: little hard to achieve at the end of Halo, keeping herself and the MC
: alive means the possiblity to complete the mission at a later stage so she
: could easily justify any action towards that goal.

: Also wot is FoeHammer has been infected? And the hitchhiker in question could
: be aboard the Pelican dropship? Cortana might have known this as a fact,
: or merely concluded that since they had been out of contact with FoeHammer
: since the end of 343 guilty spark there was too great a risk of flood
: infection of FoeHammer.

: That all said I still don't tink the part title: "Warning hitchhikers
: may be escaping convicts" has any indepth meaning... I mean the first
: part of Assault On the Control room is called: "I would have been
: your daddy." which seems vauge at best...

: Then again, in the Offical Strategy guide that part was called "Fortress
: World" so it must have been changed at the last minute and that
: implies the new title has some meaning.

: As for the fact the Longsword fighter is in a flyable state and the flood
: haven't used it, I can't help but return to the speculation about who 343
: guilty spark things the MC is... His sheilds are of Covenant design
: (allbeit back engineered) and 343 makes a reference to the flood repairing
: his ship. But they covenant seem much more entrenched in the TandR (I'm
: assuming that it's the TandR that Keyes is aboard in "Keyes").
: That ship is actually airborne to start with so it seems much more likey
: that they would try to fly that away. Ok that was off topic, but wot I
: mean is maybe the Flood can't used Human technology very sucessfully
: because it would require very skilled manipulation, as opposed to the
: simple panels and such used to control Covenant tech. They can used Human
: weaopons yes, but they doo seem to have semi absorbed them at least the
: Flood appear to not be _holding_ weapons as such.
